The Natural-ites- Picture on the Wall (single) (1983)

Time for a piece of great British Reggae.Picture On The Wall was the 1983 debut single of Nottingham’s Natural-ites. The band's first attracted wide attention when they appeared on Mikey Dread’s television showcase Rockers Roadshow. Picture On The Wall was a favourite of John Peel, and on one occasion I can remember him playing the record and then immediately playing the introduction again.
The Natural-ites were Ossie Samms (aka Ossie Gad), and Percy 'JP' McLeod. The Realistics provided the rhythm and horn sections.
